  • Nintendo (and Sony, actually) have been highly criticized for censorship of games on their platform. Particularly, adult anime styled games.

    I know this may come as a shock to you, so please sit down before you read this, but adults do infact buy and use Nintendo consoles.

    Hentai games (or rather called by their proper name, “eroge,” which is a portmanteau of “erotic game”) are pretty popular amongst Japanese gamers. In fact, many of Japans biggest games or game franchises started off as eroge. Nintendo intentionally cutting out that much of their market would be stupid, as it means less sales of their hardware, obviously.

    I am unsure how these games are filtered in the eShop, though I would imagine that a parent would be able to control the ratings or tags of games that would appear in the eShop of their child’s account, to prevent these games from being in their child’s eShop feed. I don’t know how, as I haven’t used a Switch since about 2018.
